I’m thinking 3.5 on this guy, looks like maybe 4.5 in person. Couple of trail camera and cell phone pictures at 200-300 yards.

It’s always interesting to see the different perspectives.
Had several young bucks out this afternoon.
Nub, 1.5yr old spike, 2.5 yr old 7pt and this 9pt.
He certainly had a bigger body than the 7pt making me lean to 3.5. Not much of a sagging back or any belly, to me saying he’s not 4.5.
These post rut deer always seem to give me trouble. He could very well be 4.5 that lost some weight during the rut and needs to go.
They’re still chasing does a bit these past few days after a brief slow down a week ago.

I’d guess 4.5. I remember hearing “if they look like a racehorse they’re not over 5.5” and that’s really helped me when it comes to aging bucks. His back doesn’t seem to sway down, his neck is defined and doesn’t seem to mesh with his brisket, etc. At the end of the day... who knows! Always tough aging very old deer.
